CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.3 Recommendations and suggestions for future research
waste prevention and not settle for second best options such as the effective handling of waste generated.
5.2.3 Conclusions relating to research objective 3: Future incorporation of waste prevention in South African waste management regulations, policies and plans Reporting to an international regulatory body will benefit South Africa, similar to the European member countries reporting to the EU. South Africa has the African Union, but the Unions’
resources to implement and enforce waste management (specifically waste prevention) regulations, policies and plans are minimal. If the African Union could more stringently implement and enforce waste management regulations, policies, and plans; waste management may be improved upon in South Africa and all member states of the African Union.
Prioritising waste prevention requires much more than a simple amendment of how to manage waste. It requires a fundamental change in the socio-technical system of waste infrastructure with all its economic, legal, social and even cultural elements. It requires a transition from end-of-life technologies (cradle-to-grave) to integrated management of resources (cradle-to-cradle). Only when all three components of the waste prevention definition (Corvellec, 2016:8) are incorporated when measurements/targets are established, an effective waste prevention system will be established in South Africa.
• According to Alberts (2015: 420), IWMPs are a critical tool for implementing the NEM: WA and achieving the objectives set in the NWMS. Since waste prevention is regarded as the preferred waste management option according to the waste management hierarchy that forms the basis of both the NEM: WA and the NWMS, it is worth further studying IWMPs to better understand the implementation of waste prevention measures through IWMPs in South Africa. This study only focused on the IWMPs of two metropolitan municipalities.
• Since this study only focused on incorporating waste prevention in South African waste management regulations, policies and plans, further research is necessary to evaluate the implementation (and the driving force behind implementation) and enforcement thereof.
By researching this, one may promote the shift towards waste prevention in the future.
• As this study focused on comparing South Africa, as a developing country, to other developed countries, in order to evaluate where South Africa may improve upon in their policies, plans and procedures, future research may be needed to compare South Africa to other developing countries to measure the progress made towards the incorporation of waste prevention strategies within developing countries’ policies, plans and regulations.
